Time 46m

Yield 3 1/2 dozen, 42 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup apricot jam (I use blackberry jam in place of apricot, 6 T of each kind of jam) or 2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam (I use blackberry jam in place of apricot, 6 T of each kind of jam)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine butter and sugar in bowl of an electric mixer.
  • Cream using the paddle attachment until light and fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Add the flour and mix just until incorporated (dough will be soft).
  • Roll 2 teaspoons of dough between your hands into a 1-inch ball.
  • Repeat, spacing 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • With a floured thumb (or dip thumb in water), make an indentation in the center of each ball of dough.
  • Fill each indentation with 1/2 teaspoon raspberry or apricot jam.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F about 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown around bottoms.
  • Remove to a wire rack to cool.
